[open chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation: is there an interest in france?]
CONCLUSION: According to the French "physician in ambulance" prehospital system, OCCRM might be promising in France, because this system favours the fastness of care and therefore would minimize the time factor.

[management of neuropathic pain after brachial plexus injury in adult patients: a report of 60 cases.]
[Management of neuropathic pain after brachial plexus injury in adult patients: A report of 60 cases.] Ann Fr Anesth Reanim. 2008 Nov 13; Authors: Vannier JL, Belkheyar Z, Oberlin C, Montravers P An observational study including 60 patients with brachial plexus injury was carried out in order to evaluate the rate of chronic pain, to assess the incidence of neuropathies using the questionnaire DN4 and to record the management of pain in these patients. Chronic pain of neuropathic type according to the questionnaire DN4 was found in 95% of the patients. Although 75% of these cases were treated, only 37% of the patients were satisfied. All of these 37% who were relieved of intense pain (EVA<4) or hyperalgic crisis had an appropriate treatment in the early stages. The proportion...

Efficient assessment of neuropathic pain drugs in patients with small fiber sensory neuropathies.
Authors: Ho TW, Backonja M, Ma J, Leibensperger H, Froman S, Polydefkis M We sought to develop an enrichment crossover study design that would allow us to efficiently evaluate and compare promising candidate neuropathic pain drugs. We evaluated the efficacy of gabapentin or tramadol vs. active placebo (diphenhydramine) in subjects with biopsy-proven painful idiopathic small fiber neuropathy (SFN) who were self-reported gabapentin responders. Eligible subjects entered two single blind run-in phases. In the first phase (Period A), subjects were treated with single blinded gabapentin at their prestudy dose followed by a second run-in phase (Period B) in which they were treated with diphenhydramine active placebo. Subjects with 3 pain and a 30% increase in pain intensity in Period B compar...

[inflammation and acute brain injuries in intensive care.]
[Inflammation and acute brain injuries in intensive care.] Ann Fr Anesth Reanim. 2008 Nov 14; Authors: Degos V, Teissier N, Gressens P, Puybasset L, Mantz J Patients with acute brain injuries or susceptibility to post-surgery stroke are a major therapeutic challenge for intensive care and anaesthesiology medicine. The control of systemic stress involved in brain damage is necessary to reduce the frequency and severity of secondary brain lesions. Inflammation is known to be directly involved in acute brain lesions. The brain is a major participant in inflammation control through activation or inhibition effects. The exact mechanisms involved in deleterious effects following acute brain injuries due to inflammation are still unknown. This non-exhaustive study will expose the prin...

[perioperative morbidity and mortality in a developing country: experience of lomé teaching hospital.]
CONCLUSION: This mortality rate was smaller than in 2002. This may be explained by a better prenanaesthetic risk evaluation performed by anaesthetists, the creation of postoperative recovery room, the promotion of regional anaesthesia and the availability of succinylcholine in obstetrics. Significant improvement is still necessary and only be obtained by a national health policy.

[invasive candidiasis in icu: analysis of antifungal treatments in the french study amarcand.]
CONCLUSION: The support of French ICU physicians to current French guidelines was observed in 47% of cases. The infrequent use of amphotericin B must be emphasized. The nonnegligible incidence of fluconazole-resistant or susceptible-dose dependent Candida sp., particularly in patients without any prior exposition to azole agents, and the inability to predict this resistance should lead to propose a revision of 2004 guidelines.

Trpv1 mediates spontaneous firing and heat sensitization of cutaneous primary afferents after plantar incision.
Authors: Banik RK, Brennan TJ TrpV1, the receptor for capsaicin, contributes to nociception in animals but appears to be much more important for signaling increased behavioral sensitivity in the injured state. The current study examined the relationship between the marked reduction in heat hyperalgesia after incision in TrpV1 knockout (KO) mice and the activity of the nociceptors in these same mice. Also, the role of TrpV1 in spontaneous activity (SA) of afferents after incision was examined. Standard teased-fiber techniques were used to record from glabrous skin afferents from incised and control TrpV1 KO and C57Bl6 mice. The loss of TrpV1 had minimal effect on the responses of mechano-heat-sensitive C-fiber afferents in the normal and incised states. However, a different group of hea...

[the (non)sense of certification in intensive care medicine : the problem of the detection of suitable indicator systems.]
[The (non)sense of certification in intensive care medicine : The problem of the detection of suitable indicator systems.] Anaesthesist. 2008 Nov 14; Authors: Vagts DA, Bauer M, Martin J Certification is a compulsory element of today's quality management. However, the instruments used for certification have mostly originally been developed for industrial purposes. Even with tried and tested adaptation to hospital structures, transferring these instruments to the medical environment implies partial negligence of outcome quality. This fact is due to the multidimensional structure of medical outcome quality, which cannot be reduced to only one indicator. This review describes the necessity to develop a specific indicator system, which is needed for an objective, reliable and valid...
